Oscar-nominated works will be showcased TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL SECURITY, THERE ARE TWO HALVES TO CONSIDER: SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record This weekend, Park City Film looks to continue a 14-year tradition by screening the year’s Academy Award-nominated short films over Oscar weekend. “What’s fun about (short) films is you don’t generally get to see them outside of film festivals,” Park City Film executive director Katharine Wang said. “They are kind of like the hidden treasures of the film world. When you look at the best films of the year, they certainly deserve their times on screen as well. So as a film exhibitor, we takes pleasure in bringing the shorts to our screen on Academy Award weekend.” Short films are considered in three categories for Academy Awards — the best animated shorts, documentary shorts and live-action shorts (see accompanying list on page C-3 for titles and summaries). “We will show a different collection each night, so people can come each night to view the whole collection or pick and choose which night they want to come,” Wang said. Friday’s screenings will be pulled from the Short Film (Animated) category. The films, although animated, aren’t necessarily suitable for children and the suggested rating for the evening is PG, according to Wang. “They contain themes from Alzheimer’s Disease to the death GROW PROTECT At Northwestern Mutual, our financial advisors combine personalized investment solutions that help grow your wealth with world-class insurance that protects what matters most to you.

It’s interesting to see what kind of stories find resonance with audiences, critics and the Academy...” Katharine Wang, Park City Film executive director “It’s a fun night to come out and celebrate the art of cinema, and the watch the documentaries,” Wang said. “The documentaries cover everything from race and identity to end-of-life care and decision making to female empowerment in India.” The Oscar party will start at 6 p.m. and the screenings will start at 8 p.m. Tickets for just the screenings are $8 for general admission; $7 for students and senior citizens and $6 for Park City Film members, while tickets for the Oscar party and screening are $50 for general admission and $40 for Park City Film members.

Sunday night’s screening will feature the nominees in Live Action Short Film. “The overall theme of the films in this category is the loss of innocence,” Wang said. “These are very topical films for our times. They balance intolerance with acceptance, and they push the bounds of filmmaking and storytelling.” The Saturday and Sunday screenings are rated R for “violence, language and adult themes.” “This year’s shorts are certainly much more diverse than what we’ve had in years past,” Wang said. “It’s interesting to see what kind of stories find resonance with audiences, critics and the Academy.” Short films can be a stepping stone for some filmmakers to later create feature-length films, Wang said. Wang cited Damien Chazelle’s 2014 Academy Award-winning feature “Whiplash” as an example. The film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival as a short film, before Chazelle turned it into a feature-length film starring Miles Teller and S s Please see Screenings, C-3 STEM CELL THERAPY FOR PAIN PRESENTED BY: JOHN LAWRENCE M.D. Join us for Our Seminars Held at our Park City Office Tuesday, February 12th — 12:00pm Tuesday, February 19th — 12:00pm Tuesday, February 26th — 12:00pm DO YOU SUFFER FROM… REGAN ARCHIBALD, LAC, DIPL OM Board Certified Physicians specializing in Regenerative and Functional Medicine • Tendonitis • Dementia • Autoimmunity • Chronic Pain • Thyroid Issues • Lung Issues • Nerve Damage • Inflammation Call Today 435-640-1353 Find out if Surgery-Free, stem cell treatments can help relieve your joint pain and get your life back! • Back Pain • Knee Pain • Shoulder Pain • Hip Pain • Osteoarthritis • Neuropathy • Plantar Fasciitis East West Health 1790 Sun Peak Dr., #A-102 Park City, UT 84098 |
